(Project the shapes template and the list
of attributes.) Take one minute to
discuss the attributes of the shapes you
see. You can use the list to help.
Some have right angles.  All have
straight sides.  They all have 4 sides.
 B and G and maybe H and K have all
equal sides. I’m not really sure.
If we wanted to verify whether the sides
are equal, what would we do?
Measure!
What about the angles? How could you verify that they’re right angles?
I could compare it to something that I know is a right angle.

(Post the shape names.) Now, look at the shape names. Determine, to the best of your ability,
which shapes might fall into each category.
B and G might be squares.  All of them are quadrilaterals.  H and K might be rhombuses.
It’s hard to know if their sides are equal.  D and I are rectangles. Oh yeah, and B and G are, too.
 L and A look like trapezoids.
Which are quadrilaterals?
All of them.
Which shapes appear to be rectangles?
B, D, G, and I.
Which appear to have opposite sides of equal length but are not rectangles?
C, H, K.  A and L have one pair of opposite sides that look the same.
Squares are rhombuses with right angles. Do you see any other shapes that might have four equal
sides without right angles?
H and K.

Application Problem (7 minutes)
Use the tape diagram to create a division word problem that
solves for the unknown, the total number of threes in 4,194.
Switch word problems with a partner and solve.
NOTES ON
MULTIPLE MEANS
OF ACTION AND
EXPRESSION:
Allot extra time and a moment for
discussion for English language learners
before they write. Make available a list
of measurement units (e.g., dollars)
and everyday units (e.g., marbles).
They can make 1,398 sacks of flour.
Note: This problem extends understanding from Lesson 31
about solving for an unknown number of groups. Extend this
problem in the Student Debrief using a divisor of 6, which
connects to this lesson’s Concept Development.
Students working below grade level
may benefit from a review. Ask, “What
is the whole amount? 4,194 what?
How many are in each group according
to our tape diagram? How can we
group our unit? In a can? A basket?
A measurement? Do we know the
number of groups? How can we find
out?”

Draw what we know and what we need to know
on a tape diagram.
I labeled the whole as 259 days. Then, I put a 7 in one
part because there are 7 days in each week. We don’t
know how many groups of 7 days there are.
How did you represent the number of weeks that are
unknown?
I labeled the rest of the tape diagram with a question
mark.
Solve for how many weeks there are in 259 days.
There are 37 weeks in 259 days.

The divisor in this problem is larger than in many division problems we have solved. Tell your
partner a strategy you can use to find the quotient when dividing by 7.
25 tens divided by 7 is easy. It’s 3 tens with 4 tens left over.  I counted by sevens, 10 at a time:
10 sevens is 70, 20 sevens is 140, 30 sevens is 210, and 40 sevens would be too big. So, I got
30 sevens with 49 left over.  That still means you get 3 tens in the quotient. One way is like we
did with place value disks. The other is like we did with the area model. But they’ll both give the
same answer.
Either way of thinking will work for finding the quotient. When our divisor is large, how do I check
to see if my quotient and remainder are correct?
The same way we always do!  It’s no different for big divisors than for small divisors—multiply the
number of groups times the size of each group.  And, don’t forget to add the remainder. 
Multiply the divisor by the quotient, and add the remainder.
So, what we learned about small divisors still helps us now!

8 students, how many pencils does each student receive?

Draw a tape diagram to represent the problem. Describe the parts of your tape diagram to your
partner.
I recorded and labeled the total of 249 pencils. Then, I made 8 equal parts because there are
8 students. I need to solve for how many in each group, so I put a question mark in one part to
show that I need to solve for how many pencils each student will get.
Solve for how many pencils each student will receive. (Allow students time to work.)
Each student will receive 31 colored pencils. There will be 1 pencil left over.
Does your drawing of the tape diagram account for the remaining pencil? Let’s revise our tape
diagram to show the remainder.
I can shade a small portion at the end of the tape diagram to represent the remaining pencil. I will
have to resize each of the eight parts to make them equal.
Discuss a strategy you might have used when dividing by a larger divisor, like 8.
I counted by 8 tens. 8 tens, 16 tens, 24 tens.  I know there are 2 fours in each eight. There are
6 fours in 24. So, half of 6 is 3. There are 3 eights in 24.  I used my facts. I know 8 times 3 tens is
24 tens.

may benefit from a brief explanation of
My tape diagram shows a total of 155. I partitioned
the terms volleyball, netting, and court.
one section for 9 meters. I don’t know how many nets
he can make, but I do know the length of each.
Solve for how many nets can be made using long division.
Seventeen nets can be made, but 2 meters of netting will be left over.
Does your drawing of the tape diagram account for the remaining netting? Let’s revise our tape
diagram to show the remainder.
I can shade a small portion at the end of the tape diagram to represent the remaining 2 meters.
What strategy did you use for dividing with the divisor of 9?
I counted by 9 tens. 9 tens, 18 tens. One hundred eighty was too big.  I used a special strategy.
I made 10 nets, which meant I used 90 meters of netting. That left 65 meters. Nine times 7 is 63 so
that meant 7 more nets and 2 meters left over.  I used my nines facts.
Mr. Hughes can make 17 nets.
Problem Set (15 minutes)
Students should do their personal best to complete the Problem Set within the allotted 15 minutes. For some
classes, it may be appropriate to modify the assignment by specifying which problems they work on first.
Some problems do not specify a method for solving. Students should solve these problems using the RDW
approach used for Application Problems.

Student Debrief (10 minutes)
Lesson Objective: Interpret and find whole number
quotients and remainders to solve one-step division word
problems with larger divisors of 6, 7, 8, and 9.
The Student Debrief is intended to invite reflection and
active processing of the total lesson experience.
Invite students to review their solutions for the Problem
Set. They should check work by comparing answers with a
partner before going over answers as a class. Look for
misconceptions or misunderstandings that can be
addressed in the Debrief. Guide students in a
conversation to debrief the Problem Set and process the
lesson.
Any combination of the questions below may be used to
lead the discussion.






In Problem 2, are you solving for the quotient,
the remainder, or both? Why?
Did you have to revise your tape diagram for any
of the problems? If so, which one(s), and why?
In Problem 4, did anyone get 15 teams? Why
would that be an easy mistake to make?
How could a special strategy be used to solve
Problem 1?
How did yesterday’s lesson prepare you for
today’s lesson?
Revisit the Application Problem. Revise the word
problems using a divisor of 6 and solve. Compare
the quotients. Do you see a relationship between
the quotients? Did you need to divide 4,194 by 6,
or could you have gotten the new quotient
directly from the previous quotient (1,398)?
Exit Ticket (3 minutes)
After the Student Debrief, instruct students to complete
the Exit Ticket. A review of their work will help with
assessing students’ understanding of the concepts that
were presented in today’s lesson and planning more
effectively for future lessons. The questions may be read
aloud to the students.
